Bosch canister vac BSG81313. Took cover off to remove lots of hair, dirt etc from running without bag in place. Everything went back together OK, but cord reel spring went zip when cover was removed. How do I rewind the spring so there is tension when the cord is pulled out ? Wound cord back onto reel, but reel just clicks ever revolution etc...no tension when cord is pulled out of vac.

The spring inside the hub of the cord wheel has escaped from the locking tab. You must completely dismantle the vacuum to access the cord wheel - take it out, reattach the spring and reassemble the unit. All you need is a phillips screwdriver, a pai ...

The back wheel came off and i went to put it back on and the other wheel that connects to the mechinism/gear height ajustment that goes up/down with a spring in it came off as well. i have been looking for a schematic to put it back together but cant find any.

You do not need schematics, it is fairly easy. Clean and lubricate the teeth on the inside of the front wheel shaft assembly. Insert the spring into small pedal and place the pedal designated opening on the Kirby front fan casing with teeth facing ou ...

When removing the canister bag, the plate and spring that it slides into popped out. When I put them back in, the bag full indicator is completely red. It is a new bag and filters. I think I am not getting the plate and spring back in the canister correctly. Any instructions or pictures showing proper insertion and configuration of these? I looked in the manual and the part is only shown while bag being inserted.

My daughter pulled to hard on the ceiling fan pulling out the chain. i have taken it off and apart, nothing appears to be broken but im trying to figure out how to put it together so it retracks, i assume it has something to do with the tension of the small spring inside of it, but not sure how to put it back together
im wondering if there is a internal diagram of this ???

We have had three belts break on your hoover vaccum cleaner u5472-940. It is easy to replace, you just remove the plastic part over it, put belt on wheel and then put it back on. Any idea on why the belt keeps breaking?

Sometimes when you buy belts from the walmart or target, they are not at the correct specification and they brake as soon as you turn on the machine. i would suggest that you buy these belts from the company. ...

I have a kirby sentria. vacuumed up my son's headphones and immediately shut if off. took brush off, unwound headphones, put it back together. when i turned it back on, the belt snapped. so i went to vacuum place, got new belt, but when i put it on, with the green arrows lined up, it doesn't have much suction. with the red arrows lined up, it just smells like its burning and i don't want to break another belt! HELP!!

Take the front off the vacuum and check inside both the front portion and the canister for additonal clogs. Sometimes something will get caught in the impellor, causing the motor to overheat. Since there's little suction and the smell, I'd guess th ...

Can't reassemble!!! Long story as short as possible- I removed the hood from my Bissell 1699 and can't seem to get it back on correctly. The "Smart Mix" knob and it's parts seems to be the problem. How does this line-up, or what is the best way to put it all back together? Thanks, Josh

The piston is put on the bottom of the smart mix knob, turn the knob to the water only setting, then put the top housing back in place making sure that the piston went into the slot, after the top is all of the way down, turn the knob, if it turns ea ...

My Dyson DC25 got stuck and wouldn't return to the upright position, I figured out that one side had jumped the track and gotten stuck in the square hole below the track. I did not want to break the plastic to force it back, so I removed the screw on the right side that was holding the kick stand on and removed the kick stand, also a spring thing came out. Problem is, now I have no idea how to re-install the kickstand. Can't find a technical manual or video anywhere, it can't be very difficul

The TechDrive Pedal on my Kirby G6 fell out of the back of my vacuum cleaner. I removed the screws from the metal plate one the bottom to try to see if something had come a loose. Can you send me a diagram so I can put it back together or tell me where I can get a service manual. The only part I am having trouble with is the metal piece inside that engages the power drive. Thank you.

I have a Dirt Devil M088400 - Vision Turbo Vacuum. A spring fell from the bottom and the carpet height adjust isn't working. The rollers under the unit won't stay in place either. Can you tell me how to put the carpet height adjust back together?

The roller attaches to wheels. There is a spring that attaches from roller to hight adjustment selector which is a plastic peice with a little hook on bottom that spring attaches to. Both peices should have a hook that the spring ttaches to. ...

We have a new hoover bagless that is a couple months old. The pet hair attachment stopped working. I disassembled it found lots of hair wound around the various rollers and removed - painstakingly thorough i might add. Problem is the brush still wont spin and now the belt seems loose - I think I put it all back together correctly but wondering if there is a trick to this?

Without the model number, I can't look it up, but this has a 1 years warranty on it, maybe take it to a warranty shop. Just take proof of purchase, model and serial numbers. ...

My Bissel proheat carpet cleaner wont spray out of the bottom or the spray handle. I took of the scrub brushes and off and cleaned out the bottom of the machine including popping out the two spray heads to make sure they were not clogged. Put it back together. Still no spray! I also did the turn off, remove fluid containers, replace, turn on for one minute to prime the pump, and still so spray...does this mean my pump is not working?

The brush wouldn't work when the selector switch was in carpet mode. Took the power head apart and removed the motor. Everything o.k. in the power head. Checked and found that the neutural wire had pulled out of the connector, the connector was never crimped at the factory. What a day! Took 2 hours and a large pizza to get it done. Neutral wire was in the hose just below the handle. Reconnected the wire and crimped it, put everything back together. It works!!!!

We had to take the bottom of the vacuum apart to remove dirt that had plugged the hose. We cannot put it back together so that the smaller round belt stays tight. I need a diagram of how this belt is supposed to fit.

The hose provides suction when I remove the handle, however, I'm getting no suction from the brush when put back together?

I was vacuuming my room and all of a sudden I hear this loud noise, then notice the roller brush isn't spinning. Thinking too much hair was caught I separated it from the rod and hose to clean it out, but noticed that the roller brush didn't move at all while I was cleaning it. I've cleaned the brush before and it would roll around with little effort, but this time I couldn't move it at all. After removing hair and string I put the vacuum back together and started it up, but the noise continued,

I removed the broken fan inside, dont remember how to put it back together. any diagrams on the web?

I took the vacuum apart, and cleaned the filter, cannister reservoir, removed all the hair which was wrapped around the beater bar. One the filter was dry (next day), I put it all back together. Now, there is no suction, and it sounds differently than it did before.

The switch on and off wont work so i took it off and it works but know iam having problems putting it back together the spring are the problem

Those springs are tricky to get back in. you can use the flat end of a screwdriver to hold them down and compress them. I would recomend taking it to a proffesional to get it put back together right before you break the plastic and cost yourself some ...

No suction I have the central vac type. It has no suction at the can. I pulled the hose going to the walls and tested there...and nothing. I removed the dirt can and checked the motor ...it is spinning but does not feel like any suction. I checked the exhaust and it is pushing strong air out. I also cleaned the filter and still nothing. Is there a relay or something that would cause only exhaust air. I emptied the can of dirt and put it back together and have absolutely no air.....hear the motor

On some units there is a screen that protects the impeller of the motor. If this gets sealed off with debris then it is like putting a potato in the tail pipe of a car. Taking the top off the unit reveals the motor. DO UN-PLUG the unit first from th ...

Hoover model U6476910
I was cleaning out the bearing sections of the brush when a spring type pressure washer fell on the floor. I did not see the washer when I took it apart and I can't tell where it goes in order to put it back together. It is very thin and measures about 5/8 inch with an 11/32 inch hole.
Frank Nething

Hi frank this sounds like its a compression washer, you normally find these on the end of the roller to even out any movement from side to side, as you look at the hoover's brush head, it should slip into a groove on one side with the roller...hope t ...
